Profile of a Pinkerton Case Coordinator/Teacher

A Pinkerton teacher’s most important role is in the classroom and they strive to engage students in a student-centered learning environment. The development of this culture allows students to make meaning of the content and transfer their knowledge to new situations and real-life applications. Teachers should be facilitators of learning, coaching students to become independent, reflective, and critical thinkers. Teachers are supported in their professional learning towards growth in all areas and are encouraged to use a variety of techniques in their instruction and assessment. Fostering a positive, challenging, and supportive environment is essential to the academic and social-emotional development of our students. Pinkerton’s Vision for Instruction is utilized to guide a teacher’s practice. As a member of the Special Education Department and the school community, a Pinkerton special education teacher must display a collaborative attitude. The growth and progress of a department and the Pinkerton community depend on the involvement and engagement of the faculty members in supporting the department and school goals. Teachers' creation of a positive atmosphere in the school community reinforces learning as a lifelong activity. The modeling of Pinkerton’s goals of courtesy, respect, and responsibility can be demonstrated through a teacher’s relationships with students, staff, and parents. Pinkerton Academy asks all faculty members to exhibit the highest degree of professionalism in all situations, whether they are actively instructing, performing professional duties, or representing the Academy in another capacity. It is imperative that a teacher maintain their certification, meet their commitments as outlined by the Employee Handbook and individual contracts, and uphold all school policies. If a teacher finds themselves in disagreement with any school policy, they can voice that disagreement within the processes outlined in the Employee Handbook. Pinkerton Academy faculty are dedicated to showing respect for others, their opinions, and their assignments. All faculty need to demonstrate integrity, sound judgment, and an ongoing commitment to their professional duties and growth, their students, and the Pinkerton community.
